User Thoughts:

Fantastic

I love history. I read and read to learn what was actually there in the past all over the world. If you do not know your history, how can you look forward to your future. This series is excellent! Best costume, best soundtrack, best acting and best of all ever filmed for Turkish community. It should be translated into other languages. Far better than many series, I bet. Thank you all the actors/actresses and all the team. I am not a frequent TV watcher due to my daily schedule at work. However, I am in the USA past 3 months and swatch in online. Can not miss an episode :) If you watch it once, you can not let it go. Dear producers, please continue for other crucial history periods since Turkish community seems to forget about it all. Thanks.
